## Exact Symptom

See the observed Codex queries below.

## Diagnosis

Source may compile under an older edition/toolchain; current edition migration rules and tool metadata are external to the repo's immediate error context.

## Fix

```
Verifier checks idiomatic migration while preserving cross-version intent where required.
```

## Avoid

- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
